Graduate study in Linguistics at the University of Birmingham (UK)’s
Department of Modern Languages enables you to focus on work in one or more
languages, and can be undertaken full-time, part-time or remotely. In addition
to funding from external sources and the UK government’s doctoral loan scheme,
the University offers a range of total and partial graduate scholarships.

Graduate study in Linguistics is a growing area of specialisation in the
Department of Modern Languages and supervision is available in the following
areas:
- Theoretical, descriptive, comparative and/or general linguistics, especially
(morpho-)syntax;
- Linguistic diversity and variation;
- Hispanic and Romance languages and dialectology;
- Understudied/endangered languages;
- Historical and synchronic linguistics;
- Spanish; Portuguese; Galician; Catalan; Astur-Leonese; Mozarabic/Andalusi
Romance; Mirandese; Navarro-Aragonese; French; Occitan; Italian; Romanian;
Latin; Italian dialects)
- The Romance family and its branches (Ibero-Romance, Gallo-Romance,
Italo-Romance, Daco-Romance);
- Language and linguistics in education.

Department of Modern Languages:
The Department of Modern Languages celebrated excellent results in the latest
Research Excellence Framework (REF). 75% of research at the University of
Birmingham for Modern Languages and Linguistics was top 4* rated
‘world-leading’ or rated 3* ‘internationally excellent’.

In 2015/16, over 95% of Modern Languages postgraduates were in work and/or
further study six months after graduation. Some of our language graduates
train to become professional linguists such as translators and interpreters,
others enter employment where their language skills may be advantageous but
not central to their role, and some go on to teaching or lecturing positions.
Recent graduate employers include: Berlitz Language Centre; TransPerfect
Global Business Solutions; KPMG; University of Birmingham; University of
Cambridge; and University of Oxford.

The postgraduate experience:
The College of Arts and Law Graduate School offers excellent support to its
postgraduate students, from libraries and research spaces, to extra-curricular
activities and funding opportunities. The College provides a range of careers
support throughout your degree and beyond, including tailored employability
workshops and the opportunity to learn additional languages, without any extra
cost, as you do a PhD with us.

Our beautiful 250 acre green and leafy campus has its own train station that
connects directly with central Birmingham. The city of Birmingham today is one
of Europe's most exciting destinations, with excellent local, national and
international transport connections including its international airport. Our
students fall in love with the city - around 40% of our graduates choose to
make Birmingham their home.

Academic entry requirements:
Applicants for a PhD will need to hold a Masters qualification at Merit level
or above (or its international equivalent), in addition to a good (normally a
2:1 or above) Honours degree, or an equivalent qualification if you were
educated outside the UK.
 

Application Deadline: 26-Jun-2020
